Purple
Sandpiper are genrally not seen on direct migration, but usually
resting or feeding on one of the many small islands - usually during
calm weather. The majority of records are in the second half of
February (migrants arriving?) and from mid October - end of November.

The blue line shows number of visits, the orange one the number of
visits when Purple Sandpiper have been recorded and the green one
(numbers on right hand axis) shows the average
numbers I have recorded in any three day period.
